The apple blossom is only just breaking out into flower. The Bramley tree in the garden has just a few open blossom.
Meanwhile the two ballerina trees that have eating apples are still tightly shut.
Fingers crossed for a good crop of apples this year such as we had last September. A distinct disadvantage of the pretty dwarf variety is that Monty (the greedy Labrador) helps himself to apples directly off the tree! Looking at these reminds me that I must go and look at the Katy apple tree in the main garden given to Kate by my mum when she was born.
I like "cooker and eater": that's a good one
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, especially the second one. I like 'cooker and eater' as well!
ReplyDeletebeautiful - my apple trees are only starting to show colour. when I was a child we had a Labrador who would find the ripe strawberries and eat them off the plants whenever she could
ReplyDeletewow- gorgeous photos of lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs, I love apple blossom, I really miss the apple tree I had in my previous garden.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - especially the second one.
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking about your apple jelly! Do you think Pink Ladies mixed with Bramleys would work?
